Stayed two nights at the Shark Reef. Location is great and it looks like the owners are upgrading the property. Had to get someone to reset the internet/cable on the TV. There wasn't a hair dryer in the room. Lobby door was always locked, so for the early riser, had to go to the gas station for coffee. For the price, it was an okay stay.

Despite the cold weather, this beach trip was excellent because the Shark Reef gave me hot drinks and a heater in my room!

Fresh towels and clean room everyday. Super friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed hot tub and pool everyday. We even grilled out on their grills available. Will definitely stay here again when we come back.

It was a good motel but #1 if you ever try to call the front desk, don't expect them to answer even when they are literally beside the phone. I tested that. #2 They act like they just really don't want your business.
On the good side, the hot water was really hot so taking a shower was terrific. The bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. And it may have been the most quiet motel I've been in for the last several years. I spend an average of 250 days a year in hotels so those details are incredibly important to me.

I always stay here & love it. My last time though, the bed was so tall that I had to get the chair to get on it, no blow dryer in the room & had to go buy on & none of the USB charger ports worked. There were no plug ins on one side of the bed so I had to go buy extension cords. The bed was rather hard too. I will try it again as we always have good experience there.

$39 a night this was an incredible bargain. Best deal of the year! The room looked very nice having been remodeled in 2022.They also rent little homes/cabins. Nov/Dec is a good time to visit due to bird migration. Saw many at the nearby Nature Preserve. About 55 min drive to Corpus Christi. I was enjoying the trip so much I stayed another night.

We’ve stayed here a few times now for a couples weekend getaway. Always a great staff to encounter. Always see random little improvements being made around the hotel. Small things make a huge difference. We will continue to choose Shark Reef for our Port A trips!

The hotel is very dated. Air conditioning did not work properly and neither do remote for tv. They brought us a fan. The dead bolt would not latch and when we asked about it we were to it was the weekend so nothing would be done. Never had room service and we were there a week. Grass needed mowed so the mosquitos were awful. Sprinklers are on watering grass making it worse. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

The first room had an odor of gas. The beds were rises and with my disability very difficult to jump on. The hotel moved us with no help from staff. The second that roaches and the toilet flooded. Overall not happy at all.

It is just an older property but it is clean. Shower is low - small bathroom sink. If you are just wanting affordable and clean this is the place for you.

People were super nice, but we could not turn on the TV, there was no vent in the restroom, and we killed a couple of big roaches in the room.

Very friendly service and staff let us check in early, when we arrived in town!

We enjoyed our stay even though it was very noisy late into the night. The property doesn’t enforce “quiet time” at all. There was no blow dryer offered in the room which is unusual these days.

Tv didn’t work, no one answered the phone for help. Never got towels replaced. Toilet wobbled and leaked water. No plugs in restroom to get ready. No phone or iron in room. No dark out shades. Just an FYI for those who don’t like the sun beaming in at 7 in the morning.
Front Desk lady was very helpful and attentive. She was very friendly and fast with check in.

I didn't like that I had to kill 2 spider's. That was creepy. Sorry. But otherwise it was good.

My stay was amazing other than our neighbors being so loud almost all night till almost 3am Saturday night yelling screaming and swearing and stuff… But other than that. It was good… I would add a picture but I’m very bad at taking pictures while on vacay… love it here…. I see it’s up for sale I hope it doesn’t change. It’s very friendly and beautiful….
